The provision of National Health Service bereavement services is a local matter. These services may offer a range of support to bereaved people and are typically designed to support people regardless of the circumstance of that bereavement.

There are also a number of charities and support networks that that specialise in providing support to those who have lost a loved one in particular circumstances, such as drowning.
